Women and Female Bodybuilding....A Love and hate Relationship???

Women and Female Bodybuilding....A Love and hate Relationship???

First, let me acknowledge a point of reference for you as you begin to read this article; 1.)  The opinions do not reflect those of New York SportScene  2.)  The opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the article’s author.  3.)  The points of views expressed are those points of view that I have entertained through many conversations with many people all throughout my affiliation with the sport of bodybuilding and its participants and observers.  I say this most simply because some of the viewpoints may be...not consistent with yours.   Possibly.  It’s always fun to debate the issues.   At least we don’t have an entire country hinged upon our opinions.

Find Success by sifting through the Fitness Nonsense

So, you think you’re gonna’ burn 600 calories in 30 minutes?   Do you really think that NO2 is “pumping you up”?   (You girlie man!)  Still think that Hollywood’s got the answer that this will be the weekend to lose 10lbs?   Are you absolutely convinced that you’re gonna’ get rock hard, chiseled, sculpted, sexy, eye turning, washboard abs in only 6.4 seconds per day, 3 times per week?   Huh?   Well are ya’???

            Well, the fitness industry sure hopes so!   Advertisers and marketing companies are working so hard to answer your wishes for quick fixes, magic potions, and overnight success.   Well, that’s a lot of %#@*($(@&@$.   Strong language?  Yeah, a little.   But this is a very strong subject!   You NEED to watch out for these advertisers looking to scam you into buying something you don’t need, don’t want, and probably have no real use for.  or.  or.  or.

Eat for what you're going to do, not for what you did.

This simple rule, if nothing else, is a good beginning to help you begin to control your weight, reduce cravings for food, and utilize more of your calories for activities as opposed to storing them as energy for another time. Most people feel that if they workout, they are entitled to gorge or eat more afterwards than if they had not worked out. By just beginning the day with a big breakfast, you get the metabolism started and you have the entire day to utilize the ingested calories. At the end of the day when you eat dinner, your day is winding down and your activities are certain to be minimal. So, eat less. If you are going to be on errands during a lunch hour or you are planning to hit the gym, enjoy a bigger lunch or pre-workout meal. When you’re finished, enjoy a meal that’s sized up for the rest of your day. Ask yourself questions like, “Am I going to bed in three hours?” Enjoy a smaller meal if that’s the case. If there’s still a lot of day to go, let your portion be a little larger. Just skip the extra helpings and empty calories (soda, cake, cookies); Your body will thank you.
